Investor snapshot
Edgemont Village rental yields & investor angle
Rough gross yield ranges based on typical CMHC market rents in the North Vancouver CMA and the lower end of Edgemont Village purchase prices. Real numbers shift with strata fees, vacancy, financing, and property tax — I run a full pro-forma before we make any offer.
| Property type | Purchase (low) | Typical rent | Gross yield range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Detached (rented as SFH) | $2.8M – $4.5M | $3,800-5,500/mo | 1.63% – 2.36% |
| Townhouse | $1.5M – $1.95M | $3,200-4,200/mo | 2.56% – 3.36% |
| Condo (1-bed) | $880K – $1.25M | $2,200-2,800/mo | 3.00% – 3.82% |
Gross yield = annual rent ÷ purchase price. Net yields after strata, taxes, vacancy, repairs, and financing typically run 1.5-2.5 percentage points lower. I model the BC tax stack (Speculation Tax, Empty Homes Tax, Property Transfer Tax, capital gains, and the new BC Home Flipping Tax) for every investor file.

FAQ
Edgemont Village real estate questions
Why is Handsworth Secondary such a strong demand driver?
Handsworth consistently ranks in the top 10–20 BC public secondary schools by Fraser Institute scores, with strong AP and athletic programs. The catchment is tightly drawn around Edgemont and Capilano Highlands, which is why detached prices in those pockets command a premium over surrounding North Vancouver neighbourhoods.
